[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]The lake is not a naturally occurring lake, it is a man made lake. Disney made the lake in an area infested with alligators. They didn't rope off this attractive nuisance, and encouraged families to congregate on the beach by hosting a boat parade, movies, and activities. I can't believe people are blaming the parents.

+100.  What is the point of these ridiculous contortions to somehow find the parents to blame?  Desire to find the "Magic Kingdom" perfect and unaccountable?  Attempt to reassure oneself that "this couldn't happen to me"?

Also putting aside the legal questions, I don't see how the fact the toddler was (allegedly) dipping his toes in really is all that relevant.  I could see that it would have significantly changed the risks if he had waded say, 5-6 feet in, but if a gator is willing to grab the kid when he's less than a foot in in the water, why wouldn't it have grabbed him if he was right at the water's edge - I doubt those last 11 inches offer some sort of magic protection.[/quote]
